Gatia-D Ophthalmic Solution 10 ml

Gatia-D Ophthalmic Solution is prescribed to treat bacterial eye infections associated with inflammation and to support recovery after certain eye procedures. Common uses include:

• Bacterial Eye Infections: Gatia-D Ophthalmic Solution helps clear active bacterial conjunctivitis and other superficial eye infections by stopping the growth of the harmful bacteria causing the redness, swelling, and discharge.
• Post-Operative Eye Inflammation: After surgeries such as cataract removal, Gatia-D Ophthalmic Solution reduces swelling, prevents infection, and helps the eye heal comfortably.

Gatia-D Ophthalmic Solution offers several clinical benefits that help protect your vision and restore eye comfort:

• Rapid Relief from Discomfort: It quickly eases the painful stinging, itching, and burning sensations caused by eye infections and surgical procedures.
• Prevents Infection Spread: By targeting the bacteria directly in the eye, it stops the infection from worsening or spreading to the other eye.
• Reduces Severe Swelling: The medication calms the body's inflammatory response, reducing redness and swelling to allow for a more comfortable, pain-free recovery.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and squeeze the prescribed number of drops. Close your eyes for 1-2 minutes.
• Do not touch the container tip to the eye, eyelids, or surrounding areas to prevent contamination.
• Gatia-D Ophthalmic Solution is only for opthalmic use.

• Avoid Wearing Contact Lenses: Do not wear contact lenses while you have an active eye infection or during your treatment with Gatia-D Ophthalmic Solution, as the lenses can trap bacteria or absorb the preservatives in the drops.
• Do Not Rub Your Eyes: Avoid rubbing your eyes, as this can worsen irritation, damage healing tissues, or spread the bacterial infection to your other eye.
• Protect Your Eyes from Light: Dexamethasone can make your eyes temporarily sensitive to bright light. Wear sunglasses when outdoors to protect your eyes and reduce strain.
• Practice Good Eye Hygiene: Wash your hands frequently, use clean towels, and avoid sharing pillows or eye makeup to prevent reinfection.

• Check the Solution: Always inspect the eye drops before use; do not apply the medication if the liquid is discoloured, cloudy, or contains visible particles.
• Keep the Dropper Clean: Never touch the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any other surface to avoid introducing harmful bacteria into the bottle.
• Space Out Other Eye Medications: If you are using other eye drops or ointments, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes after applying Gatia-D Ophthalmic Solution before using them to prevent washing out the medicine.
• Remove Lenses Before Use: If your doctor has allowed you to wear contacts, always remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
• Monitor for Glaucoma Risk: Prolonged use of steroid eye drops can increase pressure in the eye; talk to your doctor if you need to use this medication for longer than prescribed.
